You're surrounded by Trumpers around a dining table. How to make points about Covid in 5 easy steps.

1/ Before you eat, place your hands together and tell your dining companions that you would like to say a prayer.
You are now in a very unusual position. A Democrat with a lot of Republicans listening to you.

2/ Now, in your own words, thank the Lord for bringing you all together, and if appropriate, the love or friendship you all share. You already have everyone's full attention!

3/ Now, say in your own words that you ask that the Lord gives strength to all those who are sick, especially those who are sick during this difficult time, and in particular to the unvaccinated who are the most badly affected. Say that you pray that the Lord blesses those in the medical profession who are under enormous pressure because hospitals are filled to capacity and that you hope the Lord helps to guide the unvaccinated to make the right choice before many more die. Note: you have actually been able to make points about Covid without anyone butting in!

4/ Now we bring the prayer back to something all will agree on. For example, thank the Lord for the meal you are about to receive and for continuing to bring love hope and inspiration.

5/ Amen!
You did it!

I don't demean sexual harassment, but we have two governors. One a groper. The other a serial killer

Hundreds upon hundreds of people are dying in Florida for no good reason. DeSantis is fighting tooth and nail to prevent masking, and to spread misinformation. Why is it that we do not hear a choir of voices demanding DeSantis resign?

I feel that we need to hold Republicans to the same standard as Cuomo. Please read comment number 50

I have edited this OP after listening to critical comments.

Why is there such a double standard? DeSantis for example is killing Floridians in broad daylight. Who is calling on him to resign? Not making excuses or defending Cuomo. I accept some Democrats called on Trump to resign over abuse allegations, but like Al Franken, it seems to me a different standard is being applied.

5 year old Georgia boy dies because not enough people are being vaccinated and wearing masks

This pandemic would be under control if enough people were vaccinated and wore masks.

Only 36% in USA have been fully vaccinated. 28% in my state. Why nobody in masks in supermarkets?

I am sorry, but this is the stupidest thing to happen since Joe Biden has been in office. I give him near to ten out of ten for what he has done, and yes, the buck stops at the top. This is not a decision based on science. Most epidemiologists do not agree with this ruling. People will die because of the relaxation in masking recommendations. Obviously most of the unvaccinated are taking off their masks. Numbers will go up. Less people will be vaccinated because the anti-maskers, or can't be bothered, won't see the upside in getting shots. This is a reckless decision.

Fake Rasmussen polls: Biden approval LOWER than Trump!

Trump pardons are obviously for sale.

There's news that Trump is weighing a pardon for Steve Bannon. He's "weighing" it. Either pardon your corrupt inner circle or don't pardon them. But to announce "I am weighing it," suggests the scales need to be tilted more towards Trump. The pardon is just hanging there over Steve Bannon's head, and Trump is effectively saying "I'm thinking about it, but I need a better deal."

If I announced I was "weighing" whether to give a billion dollar contract to one particular person over others, it would look obvious that I was looking for a bribe. Trump is doing the same thing. These pardons are obviously an exercise in quid pro quo. It would be out of character for Trump, the ultimate grifter, if he wasn't cashing in.
